I thougth I should write something for those who are curious on how things evolved... I'll just copy paste something from our old Facebook group: 11 October: we created the Tabbles page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tabbles/152763993426I'd say that the group will be replaced from the page...no? :-)10 October: Tabbles 1.2beta1 is out for testing, and it's very cool :-)22 September: our blog is [...]

While finishing a major redesign of Tabbles' button layout, I had an idea which sounds important and which I would like to implement within two months.The problemCurrently, when you see Tabbles' desktop (aka "ground floor"), you are immediately reminded of the Windows desktop. Soon, however, you discover that it is more limited than the Windows desktop, because it cannot store [...]

Hello world,I guess it must be common for small software companies to screw up with their EULAs.Our story: Tabbles was featured on GiveAwayOfTheDay.com (great btw) and with our surprise our EULA got a lot of attention: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/tabbles/#postcomment(comments 29, 38, 63, 68, 71 (ugh!), 77, 86, 102, 115). Well, of course we "got inspired" from other EULAs... And since we have [...]

These days I am puzzled whether it is a good idea to introduce a hiearchy of tabbles.The problem I am trying to solve is the following: as the number of tabbles keeps growing, how do you find the tabble you need? In other words: suppose you already have a tabble in mind. How do you find it among 200 tabbles?The [...]

Integration of Tabbles with Windows Explorer is finally working. Now you can categorize files by right-clicking in Explorer. Here is a demo video:There is much more that could be done with regards to Explorer integration (e.g. we could add a column in Explorer showing, for each file, the tabbles to which it is attached), but this first feature is by [...]

www.tabbles.net/supportIt's powered by Mantis. Why Mantis and not Bugzilla? Read below :-)The background: Many people asked us to install Bugzilla. As nothing was happening, they eventually started threatening me (specially Maurizio). On Sunday I started trying to install Bugzilla on our *inexpensive* shared hosting. Since then (for the last 2 days) I've been fighting with: - Bugzilla(I won!) - perl [...]

As promised, a new arrange feature is available in Tabbles 1.1.7 beta1 (download it here).Here is a video of the feature:Arranging tabbles in different ways can be useful to quickly locate a tabble by eyeballing. For example, if you want to quickly locate the tabble you have opened ten minutes ago, you may want to sort tabbles by recent usage [...]

Hello world, The issueMany people have been asking things like "but does it tag the files by itself or do I have to do all the work by myself?". So far we've been answering "no, because it wouldn't be possible to understand what a file is about, without the user telling it to Tabbles...". This was true until a couple [...]

A new version of Tabbles (1.1.6) is available. You can download it at our web site.Here are the changes:Due to popular request, a tabble alignment feature was added. You can choose two alignment modes: auto-alignment, where tabbles are aligned automatically after each drag; and manual alignment, where tabbles are aligned when you press ALT+q.Auto-alignment is enabled by default. You can [...]
